Acta est fibula / The drama has been acted out

I’m done weeping

my days of wearing my cloak of sadness are behind me

life changes come slowly but ever so suddenly

one moment, there was a blizzard in my world, temperatures below zero

the next moment, my orbital was fractured, my eye swollen shut

the one after that, my marriage is done

freedom came rudely and with a high price tag

I willingly paid

true freedom comes from understanding that I can only change myself
